Eclectica Tuesday Genealogy Findings

I receive blog posts and other items in Google Reader, email, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and some of them have links of interest. Here are some of the "genealogical eclectica" that's recently crossed my desk - news I want you to know about:

* Did you catch the Mastering Genealogical Proof Study Group Hangout on Air (on YouTube), hosted by DearMYRTLE on Sunday, 23 June? This HOA discussed Chapter 2 of the Thomas W. Jones book. You can watch it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wpmLKpTTZM (go full screen) or below:

* RootsMagic will demonstrate the interaction of RootsMagic 6 with the FamilySearch Family Tree, including sharing sources between the two systems, in a free webinar on Wednesday, 26 June 2013 at 7 p.m. EDT (4 p.m. PDT, 11 p.m. GMT). Register at https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/769710494.

* Elisabeth LaPointe is running a Contest - Your Canadian Brick Walls on her Genealogy Canada blog. You do have to qualify, but the prize is four chances for free genealogy consultation on a Canadian brick wall problem of your choosing. I'm teeing up my Sarah Sephrona Fletcher problem!

* What blog reader are you using now? As most people know, Google Reader is disappearing on June 30th. I've decided on Feedly (http://cloud.feedly.com/) - it works similar to Google Reader, and can import your Google Reader subscriptions if you activate it before June 30th. There are several YouTube videos available on how to use Feedly - see a list here. There is a Feedly app for iOS and Android devices.
